Wind carry me away,let me be a bird who flies.Free me from these lieswith the stars I will sway
Dress me in whiteembrace me with your arms,don't wake me up 'till it's calm,for I want to disappear for a while.
So whisper in my earwhen my freedom is near,into the sunset I will look,for those warming moments you took.
Time is slowing down,as I look at you with a frown.You take the things that are left,from a heart that is now reft
So wind carry me away,let me be a galloping stallionhelp me fight my battalion,in the glowing light I will stay

Something about "let me be a bird who flies" feels so light and so sad at once. The whole poem is gentle even though it's really about wanting to disappear. This one stayed with me.
